Old Mikamba Had A Farm

A variation on the song "Old MacDonald", the inhabitants of Old Makimba's farm in Africa, including a baboon, an elephant, and a lion, are described, verse by verse. Includes facts about African animals.

You already know Old McDonald's version of this familiar song, but you might need to brush up on the sounds made by the animals on Old Mikamba's game farm. Rendered in lively textures and bold colours, African animals such as giraffes, baboons, ostriches, hippos, and springboks are introduced, each one contributing an exciting new sound for readers to echo. With a wildebeest's "honk honk" here and a dassie's "trill trill" there, Old Mikamba Had a Farm will keep kids "e-i-e-i-o"-ing until the cows - or, in this case, zebras - come home.
